Player to watch: Can Yilmaz Uzun
One player to take note of in this game is no other than Turkish star Can Yilmaz Uzun. The attacking midfielder has been in excellent form for the home side and his ability to both score goals and create chances makes him a constant threat.
He has recorded three goals and two assists in his last five appearances in the Bundesliga this season, proving his importance to the team and how threatening he can be in front of goal.
